Tortaria specializes in tortas, tacos and tequila...how can you go wrong with that? But they serve much, much more than that AND every single item on Tortaria's menu is just delicious!

I love this spot. I go here often with friends who want a quick, casual dinner. The portions are generous and the food and margaritas never disappoint. I finally came in to try out their brunch menu!

What I absolutely love about their brunch is that they have a full menu of brunch-like items that will fill your breakfast egg cravings but you can also order a ton of non-brunch-like items. Basically, it's perfect for a group of people where some might want lunch food and others are craving some bacon and eggs, Mexican-style of course!

​​The enchiladas de huevos come with two handmade corn masa tortillas, scrambled eggs, Chihuahua cheese, crema, chorizo, avocado, pico de gallo, and a ranchero salsa. This dish also comes with a side of mexi rice and black refried beans.

Let me preface this with there isn’t a huge emphasis on a beautiful presentation that is worthy of an Instagram photo but it matches the vibe of this casual eatery. What’s most important is that the food is tasty and you forget you’re eating out of a plastic to-go container (which by the way makes for a very convenient way to take your leftovers with you!).

​
If you’re trying to brunch but still be a little healthy I’d definitely go with the breakfast bowl completo which has scrambled eggs, chorizo, bacon, corn, guacamole, crema, pico de jallo, chorizo bean jam, Monterey cheddar jack cheese and crispy tortilla strips on top of a bed of lettuce.

Another brunch favorite was their chilaquiles! Shredded chicken with tortilla chips that are softened by the pico de gallo and crema on top. Also served with freshly sliced avocado and a beautifully fried egg.

​These were, and I quote from my friend who ordered them, “amazing!”. So there you have it…the amazing chilaquiles that we both are already craving again:

​
One of the specials was their breakfast steak fajitas with really tender sliced steak and two sunny side up eggs on a bed of hash browns and topped with peppers! I would 100% order this again. The runny eggs mixed with the steak and a little drenching of their chipotle mayo on the hash browns…yum!

​
And always, always order a side of guacamole! It’s so fresh!

As their name gives away, Tortaria is known for their tortas. I think these are my favorite. The chicken cutlet, eggplant and steak off the lunch menu are just fantastic. Crispy, cheesy, deliciousness.

They also have street corn--Corn Esquites--which is one of my favorite side dishes. Covered in chipotle mayo, queso fresco and dusted with chili powder and lime:

​
I also have to mention that the prices are incredibly reasonable considering both the NYC context, the quality of the food and the portions. You can pretty much order anything off the brunch menu for well under 10 dollars. Or you can do their brunch deal, which is a torta, taquitos and a drink for 17 bucks.

The only downside in my opinion, is they serve everything in plastic to-go containers with plastic silverware which doesn’t scream eco-friendly.

Otherwise, everything I ordered I would order again!

​Go check out Tortaria for brunch, lunch, and/or dinner and you won’t be disappointed!
